vs Georgia

[Puja]

It's like watching the Noone, Tindall midfeild. We either don't want to move it down the line, or know we can't.

Surely Maro was miles offside for that charge down.

Billy really not giving himself much margin for error for a red card on that tackle.

Agreed on all counts, especially the last one. That tackle was 10cm away from being a straight red card and that's just a stupid risk to take.

[Danno]

I'm so bored.

Thanks, Georgian 10.

[Mr Mwenda]

Is it Dewi Morris whose burbling is pissing me off?

[Puja]

Should've put money on a George hattrick.

Puja

[16th man]

Woof. That sounded like a horrible connection.

[Puja]

Is it Dewi Morris whose burbling is pissing me off?

I think it's Paul Grayson. The other one's Flatman, who I think is quite good value.

[Digby]

Is that Freddie Mercury wearing 11 for England?

we'll take what aid we can

[Mr Mwenda]

Flatman's good normally, just getting tired of the moaning. I realise there's not masses to analyse.. .

I saw billyv didn't take a knee. Did I see there was someone else?

[Danno]

Record number of 13s in this match

[loudnconfident]

Improved after 30mins. Dalys try was nice

[Digby]

Record number of 13s in this match

If Malins has played there it'd be 8 from us

[Digby]

Georgia are blowing out their arses

Puja

Thx - it sounded like Lewis Moody

[Scrumhead]

I think we’ve actually look decent when we have played the ball.

It looks like the scrum fest at the beginning was orchestrated to test Georgia’s fitness and pit Genge and Stuart against a pack renowned for the scrummaging. Dull to watch but not without practical merit.

[Danno]

My gal is providing some decent, and loud, entertainment from the sidelines at least:

WHEN WILL THE MAN-PILE BIRTH THE EGG?
Is there a designated ball-dryer?

Etc.

[16th man]

So far we've demonstrated that our big forwards are fitter than their big forwards. I think we all could have guessed that.

Also showing that if Georgia did replace Italy, everyone would need to be patient for 3+ years whilst they got to the point of being able to compete for 60 minutes before the other teams pulled away from them.

[16th man]

When was the last time we actually passed to May when there was space to run into, rather than just booting it through?

[Danno]

Why?? Just why?

[Adam_P]

Why on earth has Willis been pulled sub 50 mins? Take Ewels off, put Itoje where he belongs and bring Earl on. So frustrating, Willis was going well

[twitchy]

Well at least we got some scrummaging in.

[16th man]

Decent work out for the pack, but my word that was a hard watch.

Georgia stood up well to the physical challenge. I reckon the next few weeks will be a bit of an eye opener for people who reckon they're ready to replace the Italians.

[Banquo]

The conditions were shyte, so hard to judge on the handling tbh. It was unimpressive to say the least but mitigated I guess.
Not much to see there, didn’t see the point in Itoje going 80 tho.

[Danno]

Glad that's over

[Mr Mwenda]

I wonder how much of a priority avoiding injury is in these sorts of fixture.

[Mr Mwenda]

Pretty sure it was Dewi Morris commenting. Name-dropped people like Probyn.
